Decades-Old Mural Discovered In Santa Cruz Co. Admin Building

SANTA CRUZ COUNTY, CA — Buried beneath a wall, hidden for decades, a mural depicting Santa Cruz County was unearthed recently, and officials are hoping someone knows the long-lost treasure's history.

The County of Santa Cruz is asking community members for information about the mural that was discovered when crews were renovating the administration building's former cafeteria at 701 Ocean St.

The mural has been preserved and incorporated into the building's new community room, which will be opened soon.

Having been concealed for several decades, much of the mural's history is lost. Do you know part of the story? The county is asking residents to post any information on its Facebook page.
